Nfficials and Others Still Lingering in the Capital AtWorst of Heated Period Notification of President of Party Nomination, First Such Ceremony Ever Held in Washington, Attracts Many. ASHINGTON, even in the hottest part of the summer, is not without attractions. In-addition to the President and the first lady, many members of official and diplomatic circles are still lingering in the Capital, which is always an excuse for resi- dents remaining, too. This summer, however, has more diversions than ever before, with the ceremony of the notification of the President that he has been chosen by his political party as candidate for the office which he now holds. This is the first such ceremony ever held in Washington in the recollection of the present generation. It will be held Thursday, and several members of the cabinet will be present. The Secretary of State and Mrs. Hughes are on the high seas, returning from Europe, and are ex- pected to arrive in New York Thursday. It was their plan to re- turn at once to Washington, but the illness of their daughter, Miss Eliza- beth Hughes, may alter their plans. The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Mellon, and his family still are abroad, and he is not expected to sail for New York until late in the month. The Secretary of Commerce, Mr. Hoover, has planned to return from California, where he is with Mrs. Hoover and their boys, about the first of next month. The Jate Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who became President during his term as Vice President, was nominated to succeed himself. He and his family were in their home at Oyster Bay, and it was there that the cere- mony of formal notification took place. THE formal notification of Mr. John W. Davis of his nomination by the Democratic party as candidate for Chief Executive, which will take place tomorrow in Clarksburg, W. Va., has had its effect here. Many prominent in the administration of the late President Woodrow Wilson, who appointed Mr. Davis Ambassador to the Court of St. James, stolpred in Washington on their way to Clarksburg. Among them was Miss Mar- garet Wilson, eldest daughter of the late President, who now makes her home in New York. Mrs. James M, Thomson, known throughout the country as Genevieve Clark, d:ughter of the late former Speaker Champ Clark, spent a fortnight in Washington. She came here after attending the Democratic convention in New York, and has gone to Clarksburg as 2 national committeewoman from Louisiana. THE anniversary of independence in Ecuador is being celebrated today by the Minister and Senora de Elizalde, who will entertain at lunch- eon at the legation. Bolivian independence was established August 6, but there was no festivity at the legation on that anniversary last week, and it is probable that there will be nothing of a formal nature on the anni- versary of the independence of the five Central American republics, which will be September 15. Three years ago the five republics had a joint celebration in the nature of a “fiesta” at the Pan-American Union. The hosts reccived in the garden, and there was dancing out of doors. Of these five countries only two of them, Guatemala and Costa Rica, are at this time represented by ministers. Nicaragua and Salvador have charge d'affaires and Honduras is absent. ’I'HE departure of the President and Mrs. Coolidge for Vermont at the end of the week will give Washington a semblance of a midsummer in pre-war days. They plan to spend about ten days at Plymouth, Vt., with the President’s father, Mr. John Coolidge, who made a brief visit at the White House recently. It will be the first vacation President and Mrs. Coolidge have had since going to the White House a little over a vear ago. Secretary and Mrs. Hughes - Soon Due in New York The Secretary of State and Mrs. Hughes will arrive in New York Thursday aboard the President Hard- ing, having salled Wednesday from Bremen after visiting Belgium, France and Germany and spending some time in England, where the Secretary went for the meeting in London of the American Bar Associ- ation. nesday in her honor, and@ Tuemday Mrs. Rausch gave a bridge luncheon for her guest.

Silvercruys Re- calls His Former Service Here—Now Acting Charge at Embasey. ‘The return of M. Robert Silver- crays to the Belglan embassy is an event of moment In the corps, for he was a popular young secretary in the years immediately following the Versallles conference and until the Autumn of 1922. M. Silvercruys is acting as charge d'affaires of King Albert's Washington establishment and will, on return of Baron Cartier in October, return to Brussels to re- sume his post as secretary of the ministry of foreign affairs, a post which has not an exact counterpart in the State Department here. It will be remembered that during his for- mer residence he entertained his young sister, Mile. Susanne Silver- cruys, and the two were very popular in the social world. Mlle. Susanne now is Mrs. Henry Walcott Farnam, and a prominent resident of New Ha- ven, Conn. The romance began in the’ summer of 1921, when Mr. Far- nam, a native of Virginia, was visit- ing the Capital and the happy sequel was the brilllant wedding in Brussels about a year later. M. Silvercruys was comrelled by the sailing of M. Raoul Tiimont, who had been acting charge d'affaires, to come at once to Washington after landing in New York.‘b-va l:: ‘:hng alnutha Fl:zra Blul.:— mer, to vis and Mrs. n their New Haven homi e Another recent arrival in the Bel- gian eml is Mme.

Intense heat for more than a few days is unusual in Washington, and not a few who have gone over Sun- day will be back the first of the week.

He has been associated with American ideals all his life, since his home city Ghent is fllled with memories of the revolullonlrg struggle and of the scenes which accompanjed the sign- ing of the treaty. which ended the ond and last war with England and proved one of the milestones in the history of the republic.
